This workshop-style event will require your laptop and forethought on what internal product or system you are looking to develop in this AI-powered innovation module grouping. Attendance will be limited to no more than 25 IT leaders.Most teams don't struggle with hard problems because they lack smart people, they struggle because they lack a repeatable way to frame the problem before jumping to solutions. In this half-day, hands-on session, Matt Sias will walk attendees through framing their business problems using The Accelerator Powered By IA Workflows, live. You'll see how structured problem framing plus AI produces sharper thinking and faster results than a typical brainstorm.Attendees will leave with:1. A sharper frame on their own problem they can actually act on.2. A set of "what if" reframes that challenge the fixed assumptions.3. A free trial of The Accelerator Powered By IA Workflows they can apply directly to their own business challenges.About Matt SiasMatt Sias is the Founder of InnovationAcceleration.ai, based at UC's 1819 Innovation Hub in Cincinnati.
